Well, if you put a gun to my head….
I'd first ask for a rendition of a Way-Out's track by Splitsville!!!
But, if that didn't work, and you pressed on, I'd answer you like
this (IMHO):
Start with either
"Headquarters" or "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones".
Digging in further:
"More of Monkees" followed by the first one "The Monkees".
Then
"Head" (some great songs but lots of filler per it's a sound track to
their movie)
"The Birds, Bees and the Monkees" is still worth a shot but things
are getting a little thinner in quality, in spots to me.
All these are worth owning in my opinion. I listen to the first three
I mentioned the most.
Rhino reissued these with bonus and alternative tracks. Nice artwork
with interviews and so on.
